From Map transform to Flatten transform, field is re-named & loses its value (5 replies)
Hi Arline,
Unsure from this height what's happening. Is there a field named value in the previous that is not being imported?
Also were these jobs upgraded from an old IMan version to v4?
Q: Is there a field named value in the previous that is not being imported?
A: No, this is just renaming an existing field "DTGSEASON." Just double-checked and there is no field named 'VALUE' in any previous transform.
Q: Also were these jobs upgraded from an old IMan version to v4?
A: No
OK thanks, can I assume the value follows through if the field is not renamed?
Also does the value appear in subsequent transforms?
You may also want to clear the IMan cache c:\Iman\cache
Q: can I assume the value follows through if the field is not renamed?
A: Yes, before I renamed it, the value was coming through.
Q: Also does the value appear in subsequent transforms?
A: Well, the field DTGSEASON that was renamed VALUE does appear in the subsequent transform (a DB update transform) but it's got a null value. So the field appears but the value is not there.
How do I clear the IMan cache? I see multiple files in that directory - some are .cache and others are .dat. Am I to delete any .cache files associated with the entire IMAN job?
(FYI I tried searching for the answer, got this page, but it returns a 404 error:)
Just FYI:
I deleted the .cache files to no avail. Interestingly, when I deleted & re-built the flatten transform, I got the exact same results. I wonder if it's an issue using the field name "VALUE". The reason I named it that way was to successfully update a Sage 300 ERP Order Header optional field using DB update. Anyway, I ended up keeping the field name the same in the flatten transform; adding a map transform where I renamed it to VALUE, and then the DB update transform follows. It's working now with this approach.
Not understanding this. In a map transform, I set a value for an order header optional field called "DTGSEASON".
In the next transform (a flatten transform), I re-name the field to "VALUE". The field is set to Import. But the re-named field called "VALUE" is now null.
WHY is this happening? This is causing issues for order creation.
